Jay-Z partnership with NFL accused of racism over support of org that helps Chicago youth quit gangs

An online campaign targeted rapper Jay-Z and his partnership with the NFL over their support of a program with the mission to help youth in Chicago quit gangs, because of their tweets.

One prolific tweeter against the partnership is talk radio host and pastor Bishop Talbert Swan. He has focused the ire against a tweet from the organization showing a woman cutting off the dreadlocks of a young black man.

Many are accusing the “Crushers Club” of racism because of a tweet that innocuously showed support for the Chicago police, another that called for President Donald Trump to help Chicago, and another that proclaimed that “all lives matter.”
